air flow in PCV system

I'm setting up a ram-air system, and I just want to make sure that I understand the air flow through the entire PCV system so that I can make any changes to the PCV system that might be necessary to keep from possibly pressurizing the crank case and blowing oil out the seals. From what I can see, it looks like the PCV valve is set up to use manifold vacuum to pull air through the PCV system. And it looks like the PCV valve can either pull air from the crankcase or from a breather pipe attached to the intake duct coming off the airbox.

How are the turbo and SC people dealing with the PCV system? Is the PCV valve even utilized on LAN's SC system?
